15 Week Pregnancy Progress!

I'm going to start this post by requesting that you solely look at the bump, and not the fact that I haven't washed my hair in 2 days (although have taken about 2 showers daily for the sole benefit of steam), and couldn't bear the thought of putting on makeup.  This cold that I've had for the last 5 days is nearly wiping me out!  When I thought which one I'd regret more: not taking a bump picture for several weeks, or taking a pic of the bump but looking sick, I went with the former.  So we'll see as I look back on this blog post-pregnancy if that holds true.  Since I had to get dressed for a doctors appointment anyways, I figured why not!! 

So without further ado...here is the 15 Week Pregnancy Progress!

How Big is Baby? The size of an orange!

Weight Gain? +8 total

Workouts this Week: I had such high hopes for this past week because I spent most of it in GA with my family, and typically we work out together pretty much everyday.  But those high hopes were quickly grounded when a nasty cold came and took over. So I got in one great 3 mile walk/run at an awesome lake park in GA, and a quick upper body TRX workout, but that's it. 

 

Maternity Clothes?  Sticking to all my comfy, non-pregnancy clothes for now...we'll see how much longer that lasts! *Although the sweater I'm wearing in today's pic is GAP maternity from one of my best friends, and oh my is it oh so warm and cozy!

Belly Button (in or out)? In

Sleep: Sleep was good for the most part this week until the cold hit, and then it's been pretty (REALLY!) rough.
 

Cravings: Anything white still...saltines, bread, rice noodles with butter and parm
 

Aversions: Meat, chicken breast, veggies in general, I guess pretty much anything that's not white : (

What I Missed: Margaritas x2 with Mexican night at my parents house (margarita on the rocks with salt) and a night out at a Mexican restaurant (frozen sangria margarita).

Symptoms: Nausea has definitely gotten much better this week!  There were only a few days of true bad nausea, the rest are more queasiness which is so much more tolerable!  Otherwise back to having no energy, but that's probably more the cold and not so much being preggo.  

Movement: Not yet, but we are getting closer and closer to feeling this, and I can't wait!

Gender Prediction:*Dana- BOY *Jon- GIRL

I generally love surprises, but this one is killing me! I seriously look at my belly and think about it all the time! This one truly has me confused!

Best Moment of the Week:  Not having to go into my 16 hour night shift Sunday night (granted I had to call off because I had a fever with this nasty cold, but still, I can't imagine how horrific I would have felt had I gone in!).

Worst Moment of the Week: Having this horrible cold, and not being able to take anything other than tylenol which does nothing for me!

 

What I'm Looking Forward To: Finding out if Little Lerma is a boy or girl...we should get the call this week!!
